Three local artists have work in the tower, including Yvonne Cheng's 18-foot-by-18-foot mural in the lobby.

A 40-foot ceiling in the lobby helped elevate guest room floors so the lowest room floor would have a view over the Coral Ballroom/parking garage. Because there is no basement, palm trees could be planted directly in the ground. The ceiling is high enough to accommodate four mature palm trees.
